Looking for a little help. Have scoured a lot of posts and just wondering if there is a listing of all the fee's that are expected during this process. I have seen several posts but all the reading is making my eyes cross. I have paid the $420 for the I-130 and was wondering what else will be asked for. Any help will be appreciated, now just 40 days from receipt of my NOA1. I am sure there are a few more $$$'s the fed's will be asking for. Thanks again, and best of luck to all in this New Year..........

Plus an unknown number to myself for medical because it depends on the physician you see.

For us, I believe it's around $300 if not exactly.

Plus lots of traveling to the medical and the embassy for interview.

Plus money for your police check and ordering a long form copy of your birth certificate and/or translations if necessary.

if your spouse not have her set of white books (marriage certificate, birth certificate, police clearance certificate)

add some monies for that, spent right around I-130 approval...

medical fees in guangzhou range between 800 to 1000 rmb, done about 2 weeks before the interview date.

To summarize: it costs approximately one arm and one leg (you choose who it comes from!)

Possibly your soul too. If they manage to find an excuse for adding that fee.

:devil:

wow. I am out of it tonight. I had to edit the previous statement twice for typos. I think it may be bedtime...
